After heating a 10.00 g sample of potassium chlorate, a student obtains an amount of oxygen calculated to be 3.90 g. Theoretical

ly, there should be 3.92 g of oxygen in this amount of potassium chlorate. What is the percent error in this experiment?

Answer:

0.51 %

Explanation:

Calculated value of the amount of oxygen is 3.9 g

Theoretical value of amount of oxygen is 3.92 g

We need to find the percent error in this experiment. It is given by the difference in theoretical and Calculated value divided by theoretical and multiplying it by 100. So,

$E=\dfrac{3.92-3.9}{3.92}\times 100\\\\E=0.51\%$

So, the percentage error is 0.51 %.

Determine the minimum work per unit of heat transfer from the source reservoir that is required to drive a heat pump with therma

Sloan [31]

Answer:

The minimum work per unit heat transfer will be 0.15.

Explanation:

We know the for a heat pump the coefficient of performance ( $C_{HP}$ ) is given by

$C_{HP} = \dfrac{Q_{H}}{W_{in}}$

where, $Q_{H}$ is the magnitude of heat transfer between cyclic device and high-temperature medium at temperature $T_{H}$ and $W_{in}$ is the required input and is given by $W_{in} = Q_{H} - Q_{L}$ , $Q_{L}$ being magnitude of heat transfer between cyclic device and low-temperature $T_{L}$ . Therefore, from above equation we can write,

$&& \dfrac{Q_{H}}{W_{in}} = \dfrac{Q_{H}}{Q_{H} - Q_{L}} = \dfrac{1}{1 - \dfrac{Q_{L}}{Q_{H}}} = \dfrac{1}{1 - \dfrac{T_{L}}{T_{H}}}$

Given, $T_{L} = 460 K$ and $T_{H} = 540 K$ . So, the minimum work per unit heat transfer is given by

$\dfrac{W_{in}}{Q_{H}} = \dfrac{T_{H} - T_{L}}{T_{H}} = \dfrac{540 - 460}{540} = 0.15$

You kick a soccer ball off the ground with a velocity of 15 m/s at an angle of 40° above the horizontal

jeyben [28]

At its maximum height, the ball will have zero vertical velocity, so the ball's velocity at this point is exactly equal to its horizontal velocity.

At any time <em>t</em>, the horizontal component of its velocity is

<em>v</em> = (15 m/s) cos(40°) ≈ 11.49 m/s

so at the highest point of its trajectory, the ball has a velocity of about 11.49 m/s pointed in the positive horizontal direction.

Meteor Infrasound A meteor that explodes in the atmosphere creates infrasound waves that can travel multiple times around the gl

ladessa [460]

Answer:

The frequency of these waves is $4.27\times10^{-2}\ Hz$

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 6.6 km

Distance = 8810 km

Time t = 8.67 hr

We need to calculate the velocity of sound

Using formula of velocity

$v = \dfrac{D}{T}$

Where, D = distance

T = time

Put the value into the formula

$v =\dfrac{8810}{8.67}$

$v=1016\ km/hr$

We need to calculate the frequency

Using formula of frequency

$v=n\lambda$

$n=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}$

Put the value into the formula

$n=\dfrac{1016}{6.6}$

$n=153.93\ hr$

$n=\dfrac{153.93}{60\times60}$

$n=0.0427\ Hz$

$n=4.27\times10^{-2}\ Hz$

Hence, The frequency of these waves is $4.27\times10^{-2}\ Hz$
